POPPY’S REVENGE — HIS ‘BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN’
Kudos to the excellent column and title by Newsweek’s Howard Fineman, in describing the Rummy-dump and the partial restoration of the Regime of Bush the Elder, primarily in the form of James Baker and Robert Gates. And, most importantly, thank you Howard, for inspiring this Thin Lizzy song parody:

Guess who just got back today?
Them buttoned-down boys, from Poppy’s Days
Haven’t changed, now they’re back in play
But man, I still think like foxes they’re crazy

They were asking if Dubya was around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living in fantasy-town
Driving your old man crazy

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town …
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

You know that SECDEF used to “dance” a lot
Every night at the podium saying what the troops ain’t got
Man when I tell you he was a fool, he shoulda’ been shot
I mean he was dreaming
